The government urges CLOGSAG to reconsider its strike over Samuel Adom Botchway’s appointment, arguing there is no valid basis for the action.
The government emphasizes the importance of strike action as a means for workers to express their demands.
“We believe that the president has acted correctly in the appointment of Mr. Adom Botchway, so we would appeal to CLOGSAG to rescind their decision to go on strike,” Felix Kwakye Ofosu, spokesperson for President John Dramani Mahama told the media.
Adding that “A strike action, we appreciate. It is one of the mechanisms they can use to drive home their demands… But in this particular instance, we do not believe that an efficient basis exists to go on strike because it will be unfair to the people of Ghana who pay the wages of all public officers, including members of CLOGSAG."
